The Story Behind the Dish
Khichdi — rice and lentils cooked together — is one of India's oldest recorded dishes; travellers to India described it centuries ago, and it was a favourite even at the Mughal court.
It's the food of convalescence, of fasting days and of tired evenings, and every region has its own version.
⭐ Why It's Famous
Gentle, nourishing and easy to digest, khichdi is the dish Indian mothers make when you're unwell — or just need comfort.
💡 Fun Fact
The British dish kedgeree, made with rice, fish and eggs, is descended from khichdi.
